House OF Lords, that had to attend 10
the interests OF tho community.
Those interests would best be served
by the retention OF the clause as 1t
left the House Of Commons. Mr..
Balfonr's motion to accept the House
of Lords amendment was carried
FOG to 1874.
Mr.. Hesley moved an amendment to
empower the court TO fix fair rents on
Town park holdings subject to the
right OF re.entry by landlords for the
purpose OF bnilding upon or otherwise
improving such holdings. He added
that, although the government were
somewhat in Elk" they either Oh
jsetsd, or did not unobjs to the
fixing Of fair rents for theee holders.
Mr.. BslfOur opposed Mr.. Healey's
amendment on the ground that under
the guise Of revision 1t would, by the
application Of clause s OF the land act
as suggested, give practical perpetuity
OF tenure to those now necessarily In.
habiiants Of the adjacent town, thus
ibjuring the towns inhabitants.
Sir William Vernon Hsrcourt eaid
that the govern ment was evidently
being driven from pillar to post. They
had abandoned one argument after
another. The last argument was the
weakest CT all.
Mr.. Smith said that the amendment
was q mere revival, In another form,
Of the question just settled he there
upon moved closure, under which mo-
ton the amendment wac negatived-
2l2 to 1855.
On motion OF Mr.. Balfour three o.
the House OF Lords amendments were
rejected.
Mr.. Gibson, Attorney General for
Ireland, moved that the House con.
firm Earl Cadogan's amendment,
which provides that the revision OF
rents be based upon the difference OF
prices in 1887. as compared with prices
from 1881 TO 1885.
Mr.. Parpell said It was obviously too
late TO discuss 60 important Ques-
ton. The amendment would deprive
the bill of more than half its value.
Rather than accept such an illusory
concession to tenants, he would prefer
that the bill be dropped altogether
Parnellite cheersl. The Government
could not Justify themselves for flying
In the face Of their own declarations
and the report OF the Cowper Com.
mission. The fact was that the Gov.
eminent were moved to sdop, the pro.
posal In the House OF Lords by the
TACT that ceIt,in Unionisls had
left them, giving them q free
hand In the House OF Commons.
Such conduct was contemp,ible.
They might withdraw The whole bill
II they liked and leave the tenants 10
fight tie matter themselves. The ten
ants would not get the worst OF II, be-
cauee they vert certain 10 get q better
bill within q year. He warned the
government that their bill would
break down. Tenants were disap.
pointed In Parliament ard would look
TO other methods OF Iedrets outside
The law and the consultation, which
were, In the long run, the only Argu.
menls Parliament ever rtcogniz ID.
| Loud opposition cheers.
The government had proved this 70.
pested,y. He hoped this would be
the last occison they would ever have
power TO afford such proof. tChe.rs. |
Mr.. Balfour characterized Mr.. Par.
nelPB reflections upon the govern
ment's motives az unworthy OF the
leader Of any party. He said that the
bal bad got into such position that
they must either drop II entirely or
agr-e 10 the Csdogan amendment. In
addition 10 other benefits, even Mr..
Psrpell admits that tho amendment
would tfiord some reduction; and
yet, pr Tossing 10 speak In tenants
interests, he pretended that he would
look with equanimity upon the With
drawal OF tne bill, thus laying himself
open 10 the darkest suspicious. HE
LAT guage would afford those anxious
10 promote disorder In Ireland the
strongest i6cAtion for their action.
I. w. Rus ell regretted that a
section OF the Unionisls supported the
government N what he described as
dear night work"
Mr.. Healey commended that the de.
bate ought 10 be adjourned. He said
that they dsTstrod that the govern.
ment would disagree with the
Lords amendments, and therefore
they bad no amendments prepared.
He believed that this would be one Of
the worst years Binoe l847 for the
Irish tenant farmers, and under these
circumstances he would vote for the
rejection Of the bill. He hoped the
debate would be sojourned.
Mr.. Smith eaid there had been six
days in which the amendment could
have been considered. He refused 10
cJnsent 10 the adjournment Of the dc.
bate or 10 AJAX the House 10 imme.
dlately dispose Ct the House Of Lords
amendment.
Mr.. Smith moved cloture, which was
clriled-224 10 1856. The Cadog,n
amendment was adop,ed-2l5 TO i0l.
